Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

I don’t care how many times I’ve seen it, I never fail to laugh at “what do they know, they’re tourists?” and “what sort of foolishness do you want to see?”  Muppet Vision 3-D is an attraction that is always high on my must-do list, but I also love the Muppets in general.  I am [...]

Ear plugs at Walt Disney World:  Not Just for Kids.  I’m not a fan of loud things-never have been.  As such, I spent much of my early trips with my fingers plugged in my ears-effective, but uncomfortable.  Before my Disneyland trip in 2005, I was reviewing AllEars’ packing list, and saw someone who had recommended [...]

I’ve been a fan of Downtown Disney (DTD) since it was Disney Village Marketplace.  Being that our customary hotel was Dixie Landings, a boat ride down the Sassagoula to eat and shop was always a part of my Disney vacations. I love the food opportunities at Downtown Disney.  Not only do they feature an immense [...]

Ok, I’m going to pop in for a quick public service announcement-Goofy’s Candy Company calls these cookies “dipped fudge cookies”,  however, they are two chocolate cookies sandwiched between a cream filling.  Therefore, let’s refer to it as a huge oreo*.  Goofy’s candy company is located in Downtown Disney Marketplace, near where the old pet store [...]

url_site = ‘http://wdwnotjustforkids.com/food/friday-favorites-cokewithnoiceplease/’; This week’s Friday Favorites is a little odd.  :)  It’s Cokewithnoiceplease.  That would be my standard non-alcoholic drink order at any restaurant.  It is one of my main ways to study a waitperson-what to endear yourself to me?  Keep the Cokes ice-free and coming. This is a quirk I’ve had for a [...]

I first discovered the wonder of moisture-wicking clothing on my trip to the World in 2007.  I got on Splash Mountain with a moisture-wicking shirt and shorts on, and I was dry by Liberty Square.  I only bought a couple of these shirts (a few from LL Bean also had UPF to protect from the [...]

// “If you are asked about major rivers in America, and you name the Sassagoula, you’re in the right place!”  So says Mike on Magical Mouse Radio.  And while I may not go that far, I do love the Sassagoula River.  If you’ve never stayed at Port Orleans (either French Quarter or Riverside), Old Key [...]

// Because, with F-I-G-M-E-N-T, you can see things differently! I cannot think of a Disney character whom I fell more in love with at first sight in the character up to that point in my Disney lifestyle. On my very first trip in April of 1993, my parents and I went on what was then [...]

// For this week’s Friday Favorite, I am discussing my favorite airline, JetBlue.  I first flew JetBlue six years ago, and since then they have been my airline of choice.  (I flew a legacy carrier who shall not be named in 2008, and felt like I was in steerage compared to JetBlue).  JetBlue’s seats are [...]

url_site = ‘http://wdwnotjustforkids.com/friday-favorites/friday-favorites-dry-is-not-an-option/’; I love many, many rides at Walt Disney World.  However, my traditional first ride, and the one which gets me all nostalgic, is Splash Mountain.  It was a ride both my father and I were looking forward to riding in my first trip in 1993, as it was still pretty new then [...]
